Special Birthday Shout Out(S)

I am so fortunate to have such an amazing family!  I am even more fortunate that a lot of my family was born within the same month!

First, a belated birthday shout-out to my sister-in-law, Laura, on February 1st.  HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!  Hope you had an amazing day filled with love and wishing you a wonderful new year to come!

I always love that I will never forget my mother's birthday. She used to be the one that started off the birthday month, but no longer holds this position as Laura has now taken over this spot! :)  She was born on a year ending in "0" so I NEVER forget how old she is. ( I suppose this could be a good and/or bad thing.  ;)) Tomorrow, February 9, is my mother's birthday!  Happy Birthday Mother! I sure hope your day will be as special as you are to me! I love you very much and thank you for being such a beautiful example of the person I hope to be.

 Of course, I can't forget my dad's birthday either, because he was born two days later (in a different year). Happy Birthday Dad! May this year bring all the success and fulfillment that your heart desires!  Wishing you many more miles and smiles in the coming years! Thanks for being my running buddy.  I love you very much!

Wishing you ALL the best on your special day! I love y'all very much~
